Simply put, Objective Correlative is an object in the story that serves a symbolic purpose. So an example of this would be The light house in Virginia Woolf's book To The Lighthouse. Another example would be the coffin in William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. It could also be a charter as well so Boo Radley in To Kill A Mockingbird.

Why does T.S. Eliot describe hamlet as an artistic failure?

Eliot, in his essay Hamlet and his Problems, written in 1921, states that the purpose of all art is to express emotion, that "the only way of expressing emotion in the form of art is by finding an 'objective correlative'", and that there is no "objective correlative" to Hamlet's emotions. By "objective correlative" he means something happening in the real world which will induce that particular emotion, and to the appropriate extent. The main problem with this cockamamie theory is that the purpose of art goes far beyond expressing emotions, and that furthermore people do express emotions which are way more violent than the circumstances warrant (road rage, for example). Hamlet may he extreme in his condemnation of his mother, but that means that there is something else causing this rage, and the search for that something else is part of the fascination of his character. Basically if Hamlet and his Problems had been written by someone other than Eliot it would have been dismissed ages ago as an inept undergraduate effort.

Can you explain the difference between objectives and goals, and provide examples of each?

Can you provide examples of the differences between facts and truth in various situations?

Facts are objective pieces of information that can be proven true or false, while truth is a subjective interpretation or belief about a situation. For example, a fact could be that the temperature is 75 degrees Fahrenheit, while the truth could be that it feels cold to someone who is used to warmer weather. Another example could be a fact that a book was published in 1995, but the truth could be that its message is still relevant today.
